6G Celicas Forums

after a long (in my eyes) hiatus from June 2012, finally back on the road





So here is the story of my celica.




so i dont get to ramble on too much, lets start out with the first picture i took of my car back in 2006 when I got her.


the first mod that i did was my JL speakers all around. nothing special. i wasnt too much into the whole 6gc scene until a little bit after.

i then stripped the hub caps and started putting every sticker i found on that car!







then i had finally gotten into the 6gc scene and started to mod her. first things first, a $70 weapon r intake from a fellow member. needless to say i felt badass installing it seeing as how it was my first mod.

after that came exhaust, a nice n\' rare SP1




THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK!
i had thrown a rod and my car was up for about 3months, saddest moment ever!


after all was said and done, i got a new rebuilt block.

the day it was back on the road


this is the first pic i took with my new camera



Then after not having it for a while i wanted to get her gifts, thus leading us into the...
BAD IDEA PHASE







end phase


then i put on my XS auto headers the NIGHT before i was leaving for my freshman year of college. ended up rushing and cutting to hastily and had a bad exhaust leak. and a lil bit after put heat wrap on the rad tubes
also i got one of the limited DCR 3points




then after a month or so, my engine quit on me while cruising around pittsburgh. had to tow it back home to the shop the block was built at in philly. ended up being a bad head gasket.



then i just started buying stuff while at school and putting it in

How many are you getting? Just the pair of fronts? (Since the backs aren't any use in your car )

well actually he will be sitting on them? lol. get it...

You funny

Are they the factory optional Celica recaro seats?

Just have the fronts, you're right, no need for backs


Yup, they were originally pulled from a 205, or at least thats what I was told

now that i remember the recaro brackets that i sold, i bough from a guy in virginia. 1 year ago, may be same guy. Cant remember who i sold them to, and if he still has them...

his name was mi645, in cali. not sure though...

If Sara and I can't source some new ones for her car, we may take them off your hands

ive given up my search for those things. I think seeing them on this forum for 125 for a pair was the one and only white whale thatll appear


They arent going anywhere so yeah, let me know!

Heh, that's pretty funny actually.



Effin' drool, good sir.

with that toyota meet in VA this month I am hoping to get em in before the meet
still have to clean them as well

is there a place to rent a small steam cleaner or can you only get the large ones?

toyota meet in VA?

Soak in febreze, air dry?

lol too late, just rug docta'd them last evening. water came out BROWN

After cleaning them I looked at them a bit closer to inspect them (closer than I really should have)

A couple of the bolsters on both seats, that of which the foam is fine, the fabric seems to be worn/thinning and doesnt have the same texture as if were new. Not really noticeable from a arms length, and It doesnt bother me as much as it would if it were the confetti fabric (which is flawless) Capital Seating UK sells the SRD fabric if I ever feel the need to replace it


also these guys came in

Them recaro seats though!!!

I plan on getting a full set of Recaros one day but it's relatively low on my priority list at the moment. Definitely jelly.

Are those for the front or rear and what brand? (link?)

They are for the front and they are the GT4 racing brand ones


It was low on mine too, but then I had one of those late night ebay searches and found a local set....which is a rare thing

lame thread.

I'm curious to hear how them end links work out for you, we're you using the st185s previously or stocks? See what the comparison is like.

Im excited to try them out, I have the TwosRus endlinks, these dont have that spherical ball mechanism so they might be pretty solid
